Dogs and All about Them

Whatever
may
have
been
the
history
of
the
Pug
as
regards
its
nativity,
it
had
not
been
long
introduced
into
England
before
it
became
a
popular
favourite
as
a
pet,
and
it
shared
with
the
King
Charles
Spaniel
the
affection
of
the
great
ladies
of
the
land.
The
late
Queen
Victoria
possessed
one,
of
which
she
was
very
proud.
The
Pug
has,
however,
now
fallen
from
his
high
estate
as
a
ladies'
pet,
and
his
place
has
been
usurped
by
the
Toy
Pomeranian,
the
Pekinese,
and
Japanese,
all
of
which
are
now
more
highly
thought
of
in
the
drawing-room
or
boudoir.
But
the
Pug
has
an
advantage
over
all
these
dogs
as,
from
the
fact
that
he
has
a
shorter
coat,
he
is
cleaner
and
does
not
require
so
much
attention.
